How do you start?
Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. On the free intro call we look at your current ACT level and your goals — a recent score report or a piece of marked work helps — and the study plan is built from there, before you pay for anything. The intro call is a conversation, not a lesson or a test.
Request a free ACT intro callOne-to-one or a group course?
The ACT group course is taught live online in classes of at most 6 students, 72 hours in all, and every lesson is recorded. The next group starts November 30, 2026; enroll by November 27, 2026.

The current ACT format
The enhanced ACT has three required sections — English (50 questions, 35 minutes), Math (45 questions, 50 minutes) and Reading (36 questions, 40 minutes) — about 2 hours 5 minutes in all. Science (40 questions, 40 minutes) and Writing (one essay, 40 minutes) are optional. The Composite, 1–36, is the average of English, Math and Reading only.
- Length
- About 2 hours 5 minutes for the three required sections; up to 40 minutes more for each optional section
- Scoring
- Composite 1–36, the average of English, Math and Reading. Taking Science adds a Science score and a STEM score (Math and Science); taking Writing adds an ELA score.
- How it is taken
- Online on national test dates since April 2025 and on paper since September 2025; state and district testing moved to the enhanced format from spring 2026.
- Adaptive?
- Not adaptive: ACT describes the test as linear, with no mid-test difficulty shifts, online and on paper.
